French Bistro Inspired Lunch

My body has been craving carbs lately, not sure why, but I always feel better when I listen to my body instead of fighting it. Something that is so satisfying is a hot baguette with a nice crust on the outside, but that is soft and chewy on the inside. There’s a French bakery right around the corner from where I live, but I like buying the parbaked baguettes from Fresh Direct as well.

Here is a simple lunch of baguette with chunks of ham, cheddar and a schmear of Dijon mustard. The salad is made up of mixed greens, herbs, dates and tomatoes with a big squeeze of orange juice on it and a sprinkle of black pepper and salt.
